# Folder Content Delete Action The **Folder Content Delete Action** node deletes all contents of one or more specified folders. All files and subfolders inside the provided directories are removed recursively, while the specified root folder itself remains intact. #### Input Parameters **Folder Path**\ List of folder paths whose contents should be deleted.

#### Behavior * Deletes all files inside the folder * Deletes all subdirectories recursively * Keeps the root folder itself * Operates on the host running the stream (client or server) * Supports asynchronous execution #### Typical Use Cases * cleaning temporary working directories * clearing cache folders * resetting watchfolders * preparing folders for new ingest or rendering jobs * post-delivery cleanup #### Important Note The deletion is permanent and bypasses any recycle bin or trash mechanism provided by the operating system.\ Only the contents of the folder are removed — the folder itself will still exist after execution. #### Practical Tip This node is useful when a workflow expects an existing directory but requires it to be empty before starting a new process (for example, watchfolders or render output directories).
